Simon S your entitled to your opinion,but just because someone wrote a song it does not mean that they are the best singer of it,here is an example, Paul Metsers Farewell to theGold ,the best version of this has got to be Nic Jones interpretation.
I was AWARE Kate Rusby wrote this song,it is a reasonable effort, enhanced by clever arranging,that could have been sung a lot better,personally I doubt if many source singers would have wasted their time on it.Icertainly wont waste any more time on it,can we get back to the thread please.
